Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hello Sir
I am working as N/W Administrator of a premier Organisation.

I have a DHCP server which consists of number of hosts including a Proxy server .

All hosts are accessing proxy through manual setting in the browser only.
But I want to give access to all hosts proxy automatically without specifying the proxy IP in the browser.Because what I plan not to disturb the clients irespective of Proxy.

Also I have kept one spare IP for the visiter.My intension is, the visitor can access to the proxy without any manual setting.

So please help in this regard.It is most urgnet for as I have allready mentioned I am network Administrator of the company.

The correct method is to put a PAC (Proxy Auto Configuration) file on a Web or FTP server and specify the URL in the browser configuration. This enables you to change the proxy settings centrally thereafter.

You can also set up a "transparent proxy" rerouting all outward network connections on port 80 to the proxy server. I would caution you that SSL does not work through transparent proxying.
